As we no longer re-enable interrupts in these exception handlers, add the irqsoff tracing calls to them so that the kernel tracks the state more accurately. Note that these calls are conditional on IRQSOFF_TRACER: kernel ----------> user ---------> kernel ^ irqs enabled ^ irqs disabled No kernel code can run on the local CPU until we've re-entered the kernel through one of the exception handlers - and userspace can not take any locks etc. So, the kernel doesn't care about the IRQ mask state while userspace is running unless we're doing IRQ off latency tracing. So, we can (and do) avoid the overhead of updating the IRQ mask state on every kernel->user and user->kernel transition. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Avoid enabling interrupts if the parent context had interrupts enabled in the abort handler assembly code, and move this into the breakpoint/ page/alignment fault handlers instead. This gets rid of some special-casing for the breakpoint fault handlers from the low level abort handler path.

There's no point checking to see whether IRQs were masked in the parent context when returning from IRQ handling - the fact that we're handling an IRQ means that the parent context must have had IRQs unmasked. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

irq_enter() and irq_exit() already take care of the preempt_count handling for interrupts, which increment and decrement the hardirq bits of the preempt count. So we can remove the preempt count handing in our IRQ entry/exit assembly, like x86 did some 9 years ago. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

When auditing the locking in i915_gem.c (for a prospective change which I then abandoned), I noticed two places where struct_mutex is not held across GEM object manipulations that would usually require it. Since one is in initial setup and the other in driver unload, I'm guessing the mutex is not required for either; but post a patch in case it is.

The interface to ->truncate_range is changing very slightly: once "tmpfs: take control of its truncate_range" has been applied, this can be applied. For now there is only a slight inefficiency while this remains unapplied, but it will soon become essential for managing shmem's use of swap. Change i915_gem_object_truncate() to use shmem_truncate_range() directly: which should also spare i915 later change if we switch from inode_operations->truncate_range to file_operations->fallocate.

Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_cache_page_gfp(): once "tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied, this patch can be applied to ease the transition. Make i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt() use shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() in the one place it's needed; elsewhere use shmem_read_mapping_page(), with the mapping's gfp_mask properly initialized. Forget about __GFP_COLD: since tmpfs initializes its pages with memset, asking for a cold page is counter-productive. Include linux/shmem_fs.h also in drm_gem.c: with shmem_file_setup() now declared there too, we shall remove the prototype from linux/mm.h later.

Commit d149e3b2 ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones(). By this, soft limit is called as try_to_free_pages() do_try_to_free_pages() shrink_zones() mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now. But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker. try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() do_try_to_free_pages() shrink_zones() mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit. This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when scanning_global_lru(sc) == true. And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit scanned pages....it's not "total". This patch removes the variable and update sc->nr_scanned instead of it. This will affect shrink_slab()'s scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this change makes sense. TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work.

Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times. It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process terminations. Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7 seconds instead of normal 0.003. It makes it possible to exhaust all kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits on a single CPU. The patch limits the number of times a single process may register itself on a single CPU to one. One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners(). So, if a process registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes.

Under heavy memory and filesystem load, users observe the assertion mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback() trigger. This can be caused by page reclaim reclaiming the last page from a mapping in the following race: CPU0 CPU1 ... shrink_page_list() __remove_mapping() __delete_from_page_cache() radix_tree_delete() evict_inode() truncate_inode_pages() truncate_inode_pages_range() pagevec_lookup() - finds nothing end_writeback() mapping->nrpages != 0 -> BUG page->mapping = NULL mapping->nrpages-- Fix the problem by doing a reliable check of mapping->nrpages under mapping->tree_lock in end_writeback().

Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp() is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache. At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage. Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition, Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h, with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case. (shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

2.6.35's new truncate convention gave tmpfs the opportunity to control its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate(). We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together. Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface: let it now be called between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr. Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr(). Instead of calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform its own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range(). Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range(): now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range, there is no need to call it a third time. Export shmem_truncate_range() and add it to the list in shmem_fs.h, so that i915_gem_object_truncate() can call it explicitly in future; get this patch in first, then update drm/i915 once this is available (until then, i915 will just be doing the truncate_inode_pages() twice). Though introduced five years ago, no other filesystem is implementing ->truncate_range, and its only other user is madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE): we expect to convert it to fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,,) shortly, whereupon ->truncate_range can be removed from inode_operations - shmem_truncate_range() will help i915 across that transition too.

Before adding any more global entry points into shmem.c, gather such prototypes into shmem_fs.h. Remove mm's own declarations from swap.h, but for now leave the ones in mm.h: because shmem_file_setup() and shmem_zero_setup() are called from various places, and we should not force other subsystems to update immediately.
